Description

The Cascate di Lillaz is a famous icefall of amazing beauty in the Cogne Valley, northern Italy. Most of this valley is included in the Gran Paradiso National Park. At the same time, it is part of the well known Aosta Valley.

I invite you to join me for one day of ice climbing in this beautiful icefall. Most important, you don’t need any previous experience! The Cascate di Lillaz is suitable for beginners as well as for climbers looking for easy or medium difficulty level ice waterfalls.

So, if you are new to ice climbing or you just want to put your skills in use, come and discover this amazing spot. Climbers who visit Cogne never miss a climb in the Cascate di Lillaz. They have become an undisputed attraction in the región.

The Cascate is also a very good “ice school” spot. So, if you have never tried ice climbing before, this is a great opportunity to finally venturing yourself into it! Besides, it’s easily reachable from the tiny village of Lillaz. It’s just a 15 minute walk.

Please note in order to join this ice climbing day, you should be in good physical shape. You should either train in the gym, or run (at least light running) or do regular trekking activities.

So contact me if you want to go ice climbing on the Cascate di Lillaz! I will be happy to guide you up there. We will spend a great time on this fantastic icefall.

Mountain Guide

Born in Aosta in 1970, I am an aspirant mountain guide and a passionate climber. For me, the lightning strike came in while climbing Punta Tzan with some friends: from that day on, my whole life has been the mountains and practicing mountain sports and activities.
Among my most significant ascents are: Mattehorn, Mont Blanc du Tacul, Aiguille Verte, Monviso and Mont Maudit, among others. I will be happy to guide you around my home region!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
